00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: of the people that the question was is this a

43
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: dunk or not? And it says if it says yes,

44
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280

45
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,840

174
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: I got a nickname for Lebron that he should have

175
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: always had the nucleus, the fucking nucleus. This dude does it.

176
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: Fucking oh man, the nucleus, the center of it all.

177
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: That should be his fucking nickname, not the King. He

178
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: gave himself the nickname the King. That's why I don't

179
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: really stick the nucleus is that ship man that that's

180
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: not a good nickname. That's a good name for my man.

181
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: It describes him. It describes him. But that's not let's

182
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: say your nucleus. What's up like you? No one wants

183
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: to get nucleus tattooed on their back. Look at these

184
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: motherfucker's way today. I don't know. But your guy lebron

185
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: I said it the other day. I'm not going to

186
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: repeat myself. Okay, I am not going to repeat myself.

187
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say what I said again. Um,

188
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: but if they get past the Boston Celtics, and it

189
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: is an if. If they get past the Boston Celtics,

190
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: assuming Boston continues to to beat Philadelphia, they are now winning.

191
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: At the recording of this Iron Wrap or stereo podcasts,

192
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: they are now winning that series three games to one.

193
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Uh the process. Uh, They're they're lucky because the O

194
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: in the word process was starting to look like a

195
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: zero because they were gonna get swept. But they scrounged

196
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: together one win. Uh Lebron James, Uh will not be

197
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: winning a title. So all the ships you're talking about,

198
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: nucleus and science experiments. He's gonna go to the finals

199
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: again then lose. The Warriors don't play that ship. And

200
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about this because you always

201
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: talk about my man Kevin Durant. Watching him play the

202
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: style of what the Warriors play, that's basketball. They move

203
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: the ball, they're cutting, they they set each other up

204
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: for easy passes. They make the extra pass to the

205
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: extra Pas said, the extra past. Kevin Durant is disgusting.

206
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: He's a fucking killer. He's a killer, cold blooded killer.

207
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat the ship out of Cleveland. If they

208
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: play them in the finals, they might sweep them. Before.

209
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: You said that before I beat him a five last year.

210
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: You have no credibility, man, You said that the Celtics

211
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't make the playoffs. That was pre I'm entitled to

212
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: be wrong sometimes, Yo, Listen, the Boston Celtics are getting

213
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: swept now by Cleveland. Okay, okay, all right, we're gonna

214
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: move on from that, because your your predictions have been

215
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: off and I think you're probably on some antibiotics and

216
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: possibly some some pain medication due to the dunk attempt. Um.

217
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to the Knicks.

218
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: As of the recording of this Iron Rapp Reports Stereo podcast,

219

00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and Steve Mills is the President of Operations of the

222
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: New York Knick. Knicks. Three black men all run everything

223
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: that has to do with basketball at the Knicks. Big

224
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: fucking never happened in the NBA before. I just think

225
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: it's a good precedent. And listen, I'm all in, as

226
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I said it before, I am all in on the

227
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: New York Knicks. I'm all in on David Fizdale and

228
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: everything that's going down for them. And it's a big deal.

229
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: And and trust me, they're gonna be talking about the

230
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: fact that there's three dudes, uh, three three black dudes

231
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: are in control of everything that has to do with

232
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks. That don't mean they're gonna win

233
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: that don't mean they're gonna lose, but I think it's

234
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: a cool thing, especially to happen in New York City. Yeah,

235
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,760

00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: was let go because she was white. Yeah, she said,

383
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: how about this, Brita mckenry said, how about they just

384

389
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,160

390
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: with your big bleach block teeth, That has nothing to

391
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,000

Speaker 1: And then she also said she made too much, which

395
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,720

Speaker 1: really good, they would pay you what you were worth.

397
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: If you were really good, you'd still have it. The

398
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: fact that you're white and you got big bleached teeth

399
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: and bleach blond hair, that's an asset. That's a fucking asset.

400
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: They want to have a talented, charismatic, smart, opinionated, bleach

401
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: blond haired girl on the sideline. But you just don't

00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: with his behavior. But that's not the case. So whatever

423
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: van Gundy to speak out about this firing. I don't

424
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: know where he is. I've tried to reach him. Have

425
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: you heard from him? I did get a voicemail. It

426
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: was sort of hard to understand. He was talking something

427
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: about everything, Uh went went downhill when Boban got traded

428
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: and he was the lynchpin um and he went on

429
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: to talk about watching boban shower and the pleasure that

430
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: he got from seeing him nude. Um. But I've yet

431
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: to been able to get uh bizarre stan Van Gundy

432
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: on the phone, the fact that stan Van Gundhi was

433
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: let go. Hey, I don't know what he's gonna do.

434
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: But could you imagine Jeff and stan Van Gundy and

435
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe they do it with Mark Jackson calling a fucking

436
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: game that's must watch TV, the Van Gundy brothers in

437
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the broadcast booth. Or maybe we get our guy Ryan Ruco,

438
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: Jeff and stan Van Gundhi. That would be I would

439
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: watch any game that they called together. That would be

440
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: good basketball because those guys would be arguing, uh, you know,

441
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: just bantering with each other. That's the kind of ship

442
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: that I want to see. No doubt that it would

443
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: be compelling, good stuff. That would be great. Um. As

444

00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,080

564
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: like I didn't know what and like I walked in

565
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: there I mean it was like ten ten guys there,

566
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: and it seemed like a maintenance workout like that seemed

567
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: like a low key day, but I mean I was

568
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: tripping out off of it. And and to watch you guys,

569
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,640

570
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: your thing, you know, And I went over there like tripping,

571
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: like I'm like, oh shit, you know, to watch you guys,

572
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: you know do that. What is your off season? Like

573
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: here we are in April, what is your sort of

574
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: maintenance because obviously you're not going full tilt now because

575
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: you have you know, you can't burn yourself out to

576
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: what is your sort of you know, what is your

577
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: workout now? And then how does it ramp up? Yeah? Well,

578
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: at the beginning, I started, Uh, I would say late

579
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: February early March. Uh did you take time off? Like

580
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: how much time you take off? I probably took well, shoot,

581
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: we didn't make the playoffs, so I had a lot

582
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: more time, none of the teams. So I took maybe

583
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: about a month and a half off, like January and

584
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: half of February. Then I started doing a light conditioning,

585
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, just like running on the treadmill and biking

586
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but even then getting the too

587
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: op season workouts. You know, you put a lot of

588
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: wear and tearing your body through the season. I don't

589
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: do a lot of high impact you know workouts until now.

590
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: Like what's a little bit like what you saw the

591
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: other day. Um, most of it's just maintenance, like you said,

592
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: strengthening your ankles, strengthening your hips, your joints, getting it

593
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: ready to do those high impact you know workouts later

594
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: down a row. So this is just kind of like

595
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: keeping it. This is like the prep, but for the prep. Definitely,

596
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to peak too early. I mean we

597
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: don't play until you know, September, so at your peak

598
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: physicality and you're not gonna be ready to come September nine.

599
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: So so all those dudes that come through, I'm sure

600
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: some dudes come, you know, one day they're here. So

601
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: all the guys that have worked out at this offseason,

602
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I was like an elite work

603
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: like I thought, like I was like a special thing

604
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: for me to see as a football fan. Like I

605
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: was like if a real football fan walked in and

606
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: they'd be tripping. Who are the guys that have impressed you? Like,

607
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, like obviously Odell was out there. He's like

608
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: a freaking gazelle. You can run all day, dude. He's incredible.

609
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: He's a guy who when I watched him then make

610
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because he's not the most physically

611
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: imposing looking guy. And I think he's probably six feet

612
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, maybe six ft But like you said, he's

613
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: he's very flexible. That that's that's where he gets his edge.

614
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: He's very flexible. He can he's very dynamic. But really

615
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: the guy who really impresses me is probably Lenar for Nette,

616
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: just how well he moves at what to forty eight hips,

617
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, like me, I'm a smaller back, so people

618
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: expect me to be able to get in and out

619
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: of my cust really quickly. But he's a guy. He's

620
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: really impressed me. Yeah, because he's a big dude, and

621
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: he's not that he I thought he would be taller,

622
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: like he's just like he's compact. You don't want to

623
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: like run into him. And he impressed me last season

624
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: because he'll run past you, he'll jump over you. That's

625
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: the most impressive thing about him. You can run. Dude

626
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: is faster than me, he really, and he's heavier than me. Yeah,

627
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: are you serious? I would think so. Man Like, when

628
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: I watch him run like he can, he can pick

629
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: him up, put him down and shoot. He's just not normal.

630
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: So just watching him, how humble he is? Too? Right,

631
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: He's a guy, he comes from humble beginnings and he

632
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: obviously hasn't forgot that. Um. All right, So you're from Alabama,

633
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: you're in Los Angeles. You grew up, you had nine

634
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: siblings young you're the ninth. So you had eight brothers

00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: the guys, of the girls. My sister Medina, she was

642
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: all stayed in everything she did, volleyball, powerful power. She's

643
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: probably the best athlete in our family and her pride

644
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: all stay volleyball, all stay basketball, stay track. I can't

645
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: say that I wouldn't all stay basketball. It's all stay

646
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: tracking football, but basketball. She got me beat, and what

647
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: when you ran track? What was your what was your

00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: and what was your best hundreds hundred yard dask was

652
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: a t and what's like who both that? Nine eight?

653
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: We had a guy in my high school actually at

654
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: ten oh one though he was like the pride and

655
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: enjoy the school when he came to track. So you

656
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: were a fast motherfucker. And who's saining boat is like

657
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: a second? Yeah, you're saying boat. A lot of people

658
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: they see him running, they don't really understand what he's

659
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: really doing. He's running less than a second per meter

660
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: when he's really hitting top speed. And nine five eight,

661
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: I don't know when the next person is going to

662
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: break that record? Yeah, and and nine five, ten five eight,

663
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: twelve five eight. All this is out of my demographic.

664
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean, like, like me like twelve five eight would

665
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: like you know, like that might happen for for me.

666
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: That'd be a great time for me. I'm one of

667
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the slowest people in my The good thing about my

668
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: speed a mirror because you're a speed, dude, is that

669
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: I never lost the step because I never had it.

670
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: So I'm about the same speed as I was when

671
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: I was eighteen, when I was at my fir um.

672
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: All right, So Alabama, you're from out like I've never

673
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: been to Alabama. I'm from Birmingham, right outside the city,

674
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: from a small little community called Smithfield. Okay, Like how

675
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: small is it? Like how many people in your Like

676
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: does everybody know everybody? Yeah, for the most part, and

677
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: eight of nine of the people are the Abdullus. Yeah.

678
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: So like you took up like a quarter of the population,

679
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: like your family, Like you guys took up like you said,

680
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: when we were about a seventh of the population. So

681
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: you you wound up playing football at Nebraska. When you

682
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: got to to make the choice to go to Nebraska,

683
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: did you get with the Were you one of these

684
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: high school football players like you had options to go everywhere? Man,

685
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: I had had a really tough role. My high school,

686
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, wasn't very big, and we didn't

687
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: know much about recruiting. I didn't send out my film

688
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: until after my senior year. You you didn't at all, No,

689
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: I I didn't. I didn't know I didn't know how

690
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: to get recruited. I didn't know what it took. I

691
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: used to see these guys online who were, you know,

692
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: four or five stars, and I was like, how are

693
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: they doing this? Are they just that much better than me?

694
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: But it was really they were sending out the film

695
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: and going to camps. I didn't go to the camp

696
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: until like the middleway of my senior year, like to

697
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: one of these football camps, like one of those satellite

698
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: camps where like all the college coaches are you know,

699
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: had you see them hardball and all those dudes that

700
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: I didn't do that type of type of stuff. So

701
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: were you thinking I want to play college football? But

702
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: did you? Were you aware? Like you were at that level?

703
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: In my mind, ever since I was six years old,

704
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna play in the pros. And

705
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy, but you know, you just have the intuition.

706
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I just knew I could play professional football and I

707
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: knew I was going to get there, no out of

708
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: route it took, but it was discouraging, you know, getting done.

709
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: My senior year, I was all state, led to state

710
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: in Russian and I didn't have a single offer. I

711
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: had running backs in the same division, who didn't even

712
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: crack a thousand, who had offers to at least Tuskegee

713
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: and U A. P. And I didn't have any of that.

714
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: But but football is huge down there, like it's the sport.

715
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: So are you like getting to a point where you're like,

716
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work out because you obviously have to

717
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: play college football? Definitely? Definitely. I mean it got to

718
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: a point where I was like, well, I guess I'm

719
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: just gonna have to, you know, go to the Universal

720
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Harbor and you know, try to walk on and uh.

721
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: But things changed after I sent out my film. I

722
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: started sitting out my film, and first off was texting

723
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: and them, and at that point I knew, I was

724
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: like okay, and then once that comes in there, you know,

725
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: I had I had a bunch of visits. Uh, probably

726
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: the last month of leading up to signing day, I

727
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: had I visit every single week besides from football and track.

728
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: Uh did you play any other sports? Played basketball? So

729
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: how tall are you? I'm five nine, so you are

730
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: you could? Could you dunk? Can you dunk? Still? I

731
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: can still dunk? Now? Yeah, I'm a jumper man like

732
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: long Jo might never touch you. My long jomb what

733
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: that was in high school? And I know I could

734
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: jump a lot further than that, probably now because I'm

735
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot stronger. I was a jumper. That was my

736
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: best thing. So today you could bang it on somebody.

737
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. Are you a two foot jumper

738
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: or one for jumper? Doesn't matter that basketball really no

739
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: pun attend It is my favorite sport to watch. I

740
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: think those dudes are the most skilled other than some

741
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: soccer players, are the most skilled athletes on the planet. Man,

742
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: dudes are incredible. Oh they're ridiculous. What's so, what's your team?

743
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: Because that I'm a Laker fan, like a Laker fan

744
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: for life, for life, for life, the thick and thing

745
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: man now to this day. Back in the early two

746
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: thousand's and men two thousands when they were struggling. I

747
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: even accepted Smush Parker when he was on the squad.

748
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: What about Smush like people you know, switches from New York.

749
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: He got a bad rap, did he? His averages actually

750
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: weren't that bad. I mean, at the same time he

751
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: was on a bad Laker team, So that's not saying

752
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: a lot, but he has it was like thirteen and

753
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: like five or something. Like he was like he had

754
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: a tough run. That's a laker though, Yeah, I mean

755
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: he was. I think him and Kobe didn't get along.

756
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: He was one of those dudes that Kobe was like

757
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: on him. Of course. I mean he played during the

758
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: time where Kobe was literally at his best. So you

759
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: gotta let Kobe be and Smush was trying to obviously

760
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: make him a name for himself, right, you know, I

761
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: gotta I had a lamar Odom was just on the podcast,

762
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,479
Speaker 1: which was dope to see him and then the Metal

763
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: World Peace nice. He speaks like you gotta check up

764
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with him. He's you know, he's

765
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: so much you know. The thing about him is like

766
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: that the fight. Everybody thought that to find him and

767
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: obviously was a fun up thing um for him to

768
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: go to, you know, but but he's so I mean,

769
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: that's like a life changing thing, you know what I

770
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: mean for him, and I think at the end of

771
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: the at the end of the rainbow, uh, it was

772
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: a positive thing, like a positive came from a negative.

773
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: But he was dope to have on the on the podcast.

774
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: He has one of the most underrated careers ever because

775
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: he played a very long time, very long time. And

776
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: he was high level dude until the suspension with the Rockets.

777
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: Man he almost took my Lakers down when he was

778
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: with Indiana. He's before the whole thing happened, he was

779
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: averaging twenty four points and All Star and and uh

780
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: so you're a Lakers fan, you follow the NBA, you

781
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: could bang it on people anytime any plays and let

782
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: me ask you this, you you like ball? This has

783
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: been my a topic. I love watching Russell Westbrook. He's

784
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: a freak. He's a beast, he's a he's a one

785
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: note beast. He there's there's just full tilt all the time.

786
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: But as a basketball fan, everything we've seen of Russell

787
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: Westbrook for his entire career, do you think it's possible

788
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: for anybody to play in peace, in cohesion with Russell

789
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: Westbrook after everything we see and and bet By and

790
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: I love him, but I'm like, yo, I just don't

791
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: think he could play with another guy a star like

792
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: look like Paul George and Carmelo sometimes like they're like

793
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: he's treating them dudes, like they're like ancillary players, like

794
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: they're just like dudes. And like Paul George is sick

795
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: as a star. Carmelo is still an offensive force. He's

796
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: out there waving for the ball like he's like, you

797
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: know something like you know Lithuanian dude that just got

798
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: a ten day contract. I mean with Russell, he's a

799
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: stat machine. He's gonna put up the triple double. And

800
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: sometimes I think that's a little misleading because you're like, oh,

801
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: he is a pastor because he's averaging. Tennis is the game,

802
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: but he has to control the game in order for

803
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: him to be successful. Russ can't be on the court facilitating,

804
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily driving and kicking if he expects to have

805
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: a successful game. Russe's he's not at his best when

806
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: he is the true facilitating, when he's the true Ricky

807
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: Rubio of the day. He he's just not at his best.

808
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: And that's that's fine. You know, I love watching the

809
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: rest West when he's just dominating the ball, you know,

810
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: dominating the control of the ball. But that's not gonna

811
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: happen when you got Paul George, and I'm gonna George's ridiculous.

812
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: So glad Victor Ladipo left. Look because as a monster,

813
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,479
Speaker 1: look at the Victor left. I mean, listen, we could

814
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: talk and bang our heads over to Kevin Durant leaving.

815
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: But like you when you look at Paul Reggie Jackson,

816
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys you see when they leave

817
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: that situation, it gets a lot better for him. Yeah,

818
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: because I guess you have to scrutinize Russell Westburn because

819
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: you look at it, you like, yo, all this stuff.

820
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: These people leave. Even James Harden when he was young,

821
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: left Durant. You know, you know this is gonna be

822
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: like a part of his career, like a standarders. He

823
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: could win ten championships exactly. You know, people are still

824
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: like I mean, it's like Lebron, Kevin Durant, like as

825
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: far as the most school guys. All right, So then

826
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: who are the final four teams? You got Houston in

827
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: the west and who else the state and let's just

828
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: to say Cleveland's getting out of the east. So who

829
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: do we got winning the championship? Can make a prediction?

830
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: Come on, oh man, if either one of those teams are,

831
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: I think they're handling Cleveland pretty killing, And I think so.

832
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: I think so even as well as Lebron is playing,

833
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: it's amazing at what you know Lebron has done over

834
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: the last ridiculous playing basketball. He's getting better in his

835
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: fifteenth year, but I just don't see the firepower. I

836
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: don't see the camaraderie with Cleveland so up and down,

837
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: they don't even know who's really leading the squad. Sometimes

838
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: I agree me personally, I think Lebrons lead that squad.

839
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: I think you should. But you know who would say different?

840
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: But is that going to take you to a championship

841
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: when you've got young guys, young pieces like Jordan Clarkson

842
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: has never really been there exactly that they're not, you

843
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean? If Lebron wins it with those

844
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: people at that point, you're like, hey, I don't know.

845
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, if if there's somehow, some way Lebron James

846
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: and this this Cleveland Cavaliers team won, I will sit

847
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: here and say he's Michael Jordan, He's better than my

848
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: damn win it. That being set, NFL, NBA basketball? Who

849
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: in the NBA, Who in the NFL has game basketball?

850
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: Who who could play ball that you played with or

851
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: that you've seen at these little bullcrap charity games. Um,

852
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: do you guys play well? We had a guy on

853
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: our team. His name was Darren Fells. He actually played

854
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: professional basketball overseas before he started playing football. So me,

855
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of guys who I can

856
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: only speak for my team the time. Who who's nice

857
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: on the on the Lions Slay is actually pretty good there,

858
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: slays actually pretty he's really athletic. The already gets really good. Uh,

859
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: can my man Golladay with them them a little long?

860
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: As I've never seen him? Who never seen him? Who?

861
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: That kid doesn't even talk? Man, he doesn't. He's he's

862
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: like that pitted me of a Chicago kid. Just tough,

863
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: just just go get it, like every day he's just

864
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: come in to work. Now. He's a quiet dude. I

865
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: love that kid. Yeah, he's just real quiet. I mean

866
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: here talked to you, you know, like he's not just

867
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: the most outspoken individual. Does he remind you at all

868
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: of Calvin Johnson? I mean, I know that's a high,

869
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: Like I mean in terms of the size and the

870
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: jump ball ability for sure? What about my man Stafford?

871
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: Can he play ball? I don't know if he actually can't,

872
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: Well he should. He has a court in his house

873
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: that he lets his hoop at every Halloween, so he

874
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: should be at the hoop. I don't know. But he

875
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: didn't he the court in his house, he didn't. He

876
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: don't he don't come play it. Probably not, I don't know.

877
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure. All right, So Nebraska, you played

878
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: football in Nebraska your senior season because you you were

879
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: you were thinking about leaving your junior right and and

880
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: when you were thinking about leaving, what was the reason

881
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: why you wound up staying? Like? Is it education? Is

882
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: it you're not ready? Is it you want to get

883
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: you want to get ready? Like when you look back

884
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: at it, like, what was the real reason why you stayed?

885
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: When extra season? It was a combination of a couple

886
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: of things. I'm a big believer, always finished what you start. Uh.

887
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 1: My mom she raised nine, you know, competent children. Eight

888
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: of them at the time had gotten their degrees. So

889
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: I didn't want to only had like five credits left

890
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: and was left. And you know, once you leave school,

891
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: you don't really want to come back. Uh. And I

892
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: felt like I need a lot more personal education. I

893
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: feel like I needed to learn people more because a

894
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: lot of people who stepped from the collegian realm to

895
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: the professional realm, they don't understand this is a business

896
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with people, You're dealing with the psychology

897
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: of the game now, and it's a lot more personal

898
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: education I feel like I needed before I was free

899
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: to take that step. That's dope. That's cool that that

900
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: you were that that aware of that, and so I

901
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: I gotta give it to my sisters and brothers. I

902
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: mean that they you know, they're screwing me to the

903
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: game for sure. So you wound up graduating what was

904
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: your degree in pre law and double major history? Damn,

905
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: that's alright. That's two attorneys in my family. Two attorney said,

906
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: all right, that's impressive. I mean, you know, that's impressive

907
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: for anybody, but a football player. Heisman candidate. Well, what

908
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: is your take? You know, like every March it comes

909
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: up n c A. Uh. With basketball, it's like then

910
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: it'll die down. You know where I'm going, and then

911
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, come come August they start talking about Uh.

912
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: You know with football, you're a smart guy. Obviously you played,

913
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: you participated. Uh, now you're in the NFL. What is

914
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: your take on paying college athletes and do you think

915
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: it will actually ever happen. I'm not sure if it'd

916
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: ever happened, but I definitely believe that players should be

917
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: able to use their likeness in certain opportunities to make money.

918
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if if a guy has possibly like a

919
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: trading card deal, you know, because I mean what they

920
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: make annually on East player in college football and just

921
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: on March Madness a law, it's ridiculous, you know what,

922
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: what what they can do to facilitate that through the

923
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: players and through a lot of different benefit programs. I

924
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: feel like it will be a lot more helpful than

925
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: where the money is actually going now. But um, I

926
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: think players should at least use a likeness in some situations.

927
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean when you're there, like, how much are they

928
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: explaining to you? Like are they breaking down? Do this?

929
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: Don't do that? Don't sign this? Because so many kids

930
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: it seems like I mean, you know, I think it

931
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: was Manzel like he signed cards. I mean, it's the

932
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: list goes on and on and on, and then you

933
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: start hearing about this. Are they explaining the rules the

934
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: dudes and don't still they do? Um, I think it's

935
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: more to to make sure nothing slips by them, you know,

936
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: as opposed to really educating us on what the rules are.

937
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: I got you, Uh. We have meetings before every training camp,

938
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: every fall camp, whereever you want to call in college

939
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: before every spring ball telling us to know compliance they

940
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: come down and say if this guy shows up, be

941
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: aware of this guy. You know, they even have guys

942
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: mark down who are like the boosters to watch for

943
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: and stuff like that to stay away from. Definitely like

944
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: that could be. Like, I just think it's ridiculous that, um,

945
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: a lot of players can go out and perform in

946
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: front of hundreds of thousands and make so much money

947
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: for the university, but they can't get a free dinner

948
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: from a buster alumni you know who's been there, who

949
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: just enjoys to watch you play on Saturday. If you

950
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: go to dinner with a booster Joe Schmo, Tony soprano

951
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: looking dude, and he's he's been there, he's giving money

952
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: to the school. He could give money to the school.

953
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: But he can't take a mir Abdullah out to Red

954
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Lobster exactly. He can't even buy you a soda. You

955
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: can't even do it. So if he buys you a

956
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: soda dollar like you guys are just there like wherever pizza,

957
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's ridiculous. So you have to say, no,

958
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: I got the soda Damn, that's crazy. Yeah. My my

959
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: freshman year, I was actually involved in the situation where

960
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: I was unknowingly let someone buy me a subway sandwich

961
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: and I had to go through extreme links of finding

962
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: the receipt so I can pay the exact amount back

963
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: to that person. And how did they even track this situation?

964
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: It was like after Twitter, I was like, thanks for

965
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: the sandwich, you know, thank them, and then they tracked

966
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: that down and it was it was ridiculous. That was

967
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: my first taste stuff like the in c double as

968
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,919
Speaker 1: a bunch of bullshit. Really um, all right, So when

969
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: you look back at all the games you played at

970
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: Nebraska the college atmosphere, where was the toughest, craziest, rowdiest

971
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: fans that you played against? Probably Ohio State. What is

972
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: it like in there? Well, we never had a good

973
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: experience that they kicked our ass every time when we

974
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: were in there. But it's just loud the whole time,

975
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: the entire time, and every time we always had a

976
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: night game prime Time TV when Braxton Miller was playing

977
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: at his best, Carlos I was was killing us. Uh,

978
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: it was they were just rude to I mean I

979
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: remember one year they would be in as probably by

980
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: like thirty in the fourth quarter game is over. That

981
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: they're just saying personal things that you know, they find

982
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: personal things. And being black and Muslim in this country,

983
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: obviously I hear a lot of just like crazy, they're

984
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: they're tracking Bay as well, man Green Bay is like

985
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah as a pro Yeah, they're rough and

986
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: they're rough man that they find out a lot of

987
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: like your personal history and no that is not say

988
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: whatever about your sister's mom whatever, They'll look at the

989
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. So you're a Muslim this country since nine eleven,

990
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: being a Muslim is such a scrutinize. It's a lot

991
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: of pressure, such a um confusing, I think, uh polarizing

992
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: religion in this country. What does it mean to be

993
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: a Muslim? You grew up Muslim? What does it mean

994
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: to see from nine eleven? You how many years ago?

995
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: Is that? That's so you were a kid, I was

996
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: in fourth grade, you know, like before that this was

997
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: not an issue. And then since they explain to me

998
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: what being a Muslim iss you and just every everything

999
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: that comes with it post nine eleven. Essentially, well, I

1000
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: mean being a Muslim for me has just been a

1001
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: man of faith, just trusting in the process of anything

1002
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: that's started into your life. You know, I really believe

1003
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: that God makes this world for individually everybody, which mean

1004
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: was meaning specifically this world for you, just like you

1005
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: made this world for me, and then that's how I

1006
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: lived my life. But like you said, after nine eleven

1007
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of things have just been scrutinized and

1008
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: twisted through you know, media propaganda to build up this

1009
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: villainous essence of what Islam is about, you know, to

1010
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: try to purify this country in a sense of just

1011
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: Christianity or whatever mindset they want the you know, the

1012
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: country to believe. And they do that, uh, through villainizing

1013
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: people saying this is what they believe, you know. And

1014
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: it's I just find it ironic that the people who

1015
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: know nothing about the religion, who have never practiced the

1016
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: religion the day in the life, I feel like they're

1017
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: constituted to speak on or say this is what they believe,

1018
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: or this is how they act, or this is what

1019
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: they want us to do, you know, and it's it's

1020
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: I just I just wish a lot of people would

1021
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: thoroughly educate themselves on why would a lot of people

1022
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: be mad you know, why would it a lot of

1023
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: these so called extremists be upset? Is this something out

1024
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: America did that's not highlighted? And you know mainstream you

1025
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: know media, Uh, why why are we over there? You know,

1026
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: why are we involving these things? And I'm not saying

1027
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,919
Speaker 1: what they do all right at all. I don't agree

1028
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: with killing anyone, you know, but at the same time,

1029
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: we can't turn a blind eye to and just think

1030
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: people would just react out of nothing. You know, my

1031
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: dad always says, anytime I see a kid on the playground,

1032
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, punch a kid, I don't always get mad

1033
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: at that guy who threw the punch. First I think,

1034
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: what did they guy do to deserve that punch? You know?

1035
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: And all that. It is not always that they got

1036
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: deserved that punch, but at least you got to ask

1037
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: those questions. Do you think like it has the stigma

1038
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: and the sort of like there it's I guess the

1039
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: words stigma. It's like, oh Muslim, you know, is that

1040
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: felt like a burden, especially being a professional man. Yeah,

1041
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,439
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm constantly explaining myself. But I've brought

1042
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: up a lot all the time, all the time, and

1043
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: especially you know, going into training camp. A lot of

1044
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: time Ramadan falls going into O, T, A. S. And

1045
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: I get the same questions, how do you do it?

1046
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: How do you? And then they're making such an alien

1047
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: thing as if this country isn't a salad bowl of

1048
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: religion or isn't a salad bowl of cultures. And I'm like,

1049
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: this country wasn't founded on Christianity. This country wasn't founded

1050
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 1: on just white people. It wasn't just founded on black

1051
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: people or whatever you want to say. I just founded

1052
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: on people in the human race. But it's like I said,

1053
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: it's been this stereotype that America, America Christianity. That's not

1054
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: what that means. But and they try to, like you know,

1055
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: in the media a lot, they try to build as

1056
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: if it's such a feign thing, as if this came

1057
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: over later. But this has been right here for years.

1058
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: It's almost as if like the religion started after night

1059
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: and last after night, and level like it just spawned

1060
00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: from wherever. You know, it's crazy, it is, it's crazy.

1061
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: And being a football player, I mean in this day

1062
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: and age, I mean, one thing that's interesting about being

1063
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: a fan of football, being a fan of the NBA,

1064
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: NBA obviously there's no uniforms, Like when I saw you

1065
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: at the work and I'm like, oh ship, that's to me,

1066
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: or like when you guys don't have your uniforms on,

1067
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,959
Speaker 1: you have the helmets on so much like I would

1068
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: you know what if you ever if I see you

1069
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: with your uniform and you're I'm like, I'm abdulla. You

1070
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: know all those dudes out there, Um, you're like in

1071
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour seven during the season. I think

1072
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: basketball it's worse because you know where we we know

1073
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: all the players because they're they're not covered, you know,

1074
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: the the you're like in a reality show. And last

1075
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: year two seasons actually with the Kaepernick uh situation, um,

1076
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: which it's so clear as to was that like last

1077
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: year's like conversation, Uh was? It was? It NonStop? It

1078
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: was well for me and for our team. It was

1079
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: a big deal, you know because it was a lot

1080
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: of a couple of players, myself included. You know, we demonstrate,

1081
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, demonstrate over every going into two thousand seven,

1082
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: this page wells six hours involved and Tower down seven

1083
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: two sixteens when it started. And then because we're in

1084
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, so two thousand sixteen was when CAP

1085
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: was still with the Niners. Okay, like, what has it

1086
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: been Like? It's fucking crazy, It's been unbelievable. It's uh,

1087
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: it's like living in a revolving door because a lot

1088
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: of people just really want to ignore the issue and

1089
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: and they want to make it about uh material thing.

1090
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: They want to make it about the flag and ignore

1091
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: that this flag doesn't represent just the military. It doesn't

1092
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: represent just a veteran. It's supposed to represent teachers, mothers, daughters, fathers, Muslims, Christians, everybody.

1093
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 1: And the only thing that capped every day about taking

1094
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: a stance was holding people accountable to what you say

1095
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: this flag means unless you say this country represents and

1096
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: some people don't like that when you hold them accountable,

1097
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: they don't like that, and they try to twist your

1098
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: words and turn it as if you're sending hate towards

1099
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: a specific group, but they're contradicting themselves because you're saying

1100
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: you're about Americanism, I mean on patriotism and love of

1101
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: this country, but this country and captures everybody. And when

1102
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: you're not showing universal justice for everyone in this country,

1103
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: then you you can't call yourself American. You can't call

1104
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: yourself a patriot. Did you ever imagine that when you

1105
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: guys first kneeled going into two thousand sixteen that it

1106
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: would turn into what it's turned into. Because I can't

1107
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: believe that Colin Kaepernick as a football player with totally

1108
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: unbiased nous, whether you agree with them or not agree

1109
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: with them, straight up, a college appernick should absolutely be

1110
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Wise, at least is a backup. Right,

1111
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: at least at least as a backup. I mean, I'm

1112
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna forget, forget everything that happened. I'm not going to

1113
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: credit any other quarterback in this league, but as a backup, yeah,

1114
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: because you need three quarterbacks. I mean that's not just

1115
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: some crazy ship, right, that's just I mean if if

1116
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: he's not even thirty, if you have Callen Capi at

1117
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: your third quarterback, you're winning. You're like, dude, I got

1118
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: my third stringer has been to Super Bowl before, and

1119
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: my third stringer at least at least he's gonna be

1120
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: able to get the ball down. That's for real, right,

1121
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: with all unbiasedness, without all prejudice, whatever, he should absolutely

1122
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the skill set should be playing in the NFL. It's

1123
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous too to at this point say it's

1124
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,479
Speaker 1: about talent as opposed to the stand that he made.

1125
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me, Eric Reid, He's now like he's

1126
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: not signed with a team, And I didn't know that.

1127
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I was just with him a couple

1128
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. As far as I know, he's not

1129
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: signed or he wasn't signed when like the last time

1130
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: I looked, and you know, he made a either him

1131
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: or his agent was like he almost made a public

1132
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: thing saying if he goes to a team, he won't kneel.

1133
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is insane to me, like that

1134
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: that has to like, yeah, that he won't kneel as

1135
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: if kneeling just and this is a star, like you know,

1136
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: he's a man of one of the best things in

1137
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: the leagu he's not even like there's no excuses. Um

1138
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: so last year, Like what do you make of it?

1139
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Like and what what do you guys do going forward?

1140
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Like it is a business, you know, do you feel

1141
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: like you have to compromise yourself like or is it

1142
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: is it not worth it to kneeling against the scrutiny

1143
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: like and also it's like, Yo, they're kicking motherfucker's out

1144
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: the league for real, man, And I mean, this is

1145
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: our job. You know, a lot of guys, this is

1146
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: how we make money. This is how we're you know,

1147
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: setting ourselves up for the future, future ventures that we

1148
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: want to go into. And it's tough just you know,

1149
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: obviously making that sasion if I'm going to near or not,

1150
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: because I'm a big jay Z fan and I believe

1151
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: in one line day says I'd rather die enormous than

1152
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: to live dormant. And you know that's the kind of

1153
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: person I am. You know, I'm not going to conform

1154
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: myself just so I can appease someone, you know. But

1155
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: it is tough when you know a lot of these

1156
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: people have children. Professional football player and you're a professional

1157
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and I understand the you know, don't bring necessarily politics

1158
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: to work, but it's tough when politics are brought to

1159
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: us to work every single day week We're forced to

1160
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: sing the national anthem every day. That's politics, man, you

1161
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, how how can you tell

1162
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: me not to, you know, bring politics on my political

1163
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: stand or belief towards something. When I'm a public figure

1164
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: and I have the media asking me about Donald Trump

1165
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: or asking me about how I feel about this happened.

1166
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: That that's to my that's to my job, that's to

1167
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: my workplace. Are asking me, uh, well, what have you

1168
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: been a Muslim athlete? Mean, that's you bringing my political

1169
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: being to my workplace. That's not because that's not like

1170
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: a normal job. And when I'm a person, I'm a human.

1171
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, I have feelings, I have, you know, thoughts

1172
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: or opinions on things. And when I see people of

1173
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: color being killed in the streets at an alarming rate

1174
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and no justice being certain, and am I not allowed

1175
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: to express my distaste for that because I know especially

1176
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: it's I know, if the shoe was on the other foot,

1177
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: if it was a terrorist attack demonstrated through by ISIS

1178
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: and we took a knee for whatever the situation was

1179
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: because of military people were killed, people will stand up

1180
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: and clop, stand up and clap. But what's the difference

1181
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: between these African Americans? Are brown people in this country

1182
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: being killed and we're taking a stand for them who

1183
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: are actually citizens of this country? Why it's that different?

1184
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: You know? But like you said, it is tough because

1185
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: people's jobs are being taken away. I didn't know Eric

1186
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: Reed and Leaven on a team. Yeah yeah, I mean,

1187
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: and Cap is like they made an example at him.

1188
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 1: That's like fucking like, that's like and that's what people

1189
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: saying is like that's what he gets like for. That's like,

1190
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lynching. It's an example of a lynching.

1191
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: It's it's not a lynching obviously, but like how they

1192
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: used to lynch people like publicly, like Yo, this is

1193
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. This is what this is. It's a

1194
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,439
Speaker 1: fucking lynching. They made an example his fucking guy. And

1195
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: and you know, I got into my little ship with Manzell,

1196
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: this whole thing with him. It's like listen, I wish

1197
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: uh if you're everybody to reach your dreams. Now it's

1198
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, you ain't playing in the NFL,

1199
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, man'zell because you were doing wild ship. And

1200
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: he happens to be a quarterback and he's a polarizing quarterback,

1201
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: just like Kaepernick because of polarized quarterback. Totally different things.

1202
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: And it's like and whether or not Man's own has

1203
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: a skill set, but it's like, you know, you ain't

1204
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL now, Like he's sort of gotten

1205
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: swept up in this because it's just it's a mess.

1206
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk of football, your football. Detroit Lions. Matt

1207
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Stafford signs a contract last year for seven hundred billion dollars.

1208
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Does he buy the team dinner? Like when you go

1209
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: when you guys are on the road with Matt Stafford? Uh, Like,

1210
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: no one's reaching for the wallet. Like, I mean, what

1211
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: was his contract? Four ni billion, six hund a million.

1212
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: It was a lot. It was definitely a lot. I

1213
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: think it was like one thirty five million five at

1214
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: the time. You know, quarterbacks is just getting higher and

1215
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: higher for him, but he was the highest player ever. Um,

1216
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: he hosts events at his house. Okay, let's just come

1217
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: over all the time. It's a real cool guy. Uh

1218
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: So that's enough for me. I'm not gonna actually know,

1219
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: buy me dinner or anything. But but I mean, if

1220
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: we're at dinner and it's like we're gonna look at

1221
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know Matt. If I if I'm in the

1222
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: same res if I'm in Ruth Chris and he's in

1223
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: the restaurant, Um, I've I've had him on that fantasy teams.

1224
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna expect him to pend with the hundred thirty

1225
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 1: five million, and don't forget that he was the first

1226
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: pick in oh nine to before before the news cb A.

1227
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: So the money's coming in. The money's there, money's definitely there,

1228
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: all right. So your crew, Uh, they just signed with

1229
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: Garrett who for some reason is like I don't know

1230
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: why the Garrett blund is taking for granted, guy he

1231
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: kicked ass with the Patriots when he he kicked out,

1232
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand. And maybe the age, but other than that,

1233
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like the year before last with the Patriots,

1234
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: he broke records last year when he got the ball

1235
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: he kicked ass. How excited are you uh to have him?

1236
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: But you know, you guys in Detroit, like your running game,

1237
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: it's been a three headed monster. And I get from

1238
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm a fantasy football expert. That's a fact. I've had

1239
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: you on my fantasy football team. You guys are one

1240
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: of the teams Uh where the ball gets distributed last?

1241
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Is that frustrating? And and what do you know going

1242
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: into a game plan like all right, I mean you're

1243
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna get ten touches? Uh you know THEO You're gonna

1244
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: get twelve touches? Like how does it get broken up?

1245
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Like so the two part question is it frustrating at times?

1246
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Did you break up your rhythm? It's frustrating, especially coming

1247
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: from Nebraska where I was a guy. You know, I

1248
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna get the ball at least twenty

1249
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: times a game. And for me, it's not necessarily getting

1250
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: a certain number of touches, is getting meaningful touches and

1251
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: getting into a rhythm that that that's where it gets

1252
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of frustrating. Where you know the coaches, they I

1253
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: trust their game plan. You know, they go in and

1254
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: you know they're much smarter than me. They go in

1255
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: and they dissect how they want to attack the team

1256
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: we're playing and how they want to break down the touches.

1257
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: But it's hard when I come in, I get a

1258
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: care and I break it for about ten yards. Then

1259
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: I come out for about three plays. Then I gotta

1260
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: come in to like pass protect. Then I don't get

1261
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: my next carrier to like the next quarter. Do you

1262
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: know that going into a game sort of the scheme,

1263
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: you have no clue. I mean, we're in the past

1264
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: heavy offense as it is right past heavy offense. Uh uh,

1265
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: So it's tough to make the most of some of

1266
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: your touches um first when you don't know when they're

1267
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna come. But for me, what I've learned the most

1268
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: about Detroit, what I appreciated about Detroit is the fact

1269
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: that mentally I'm a lot tougher than I ever would

1270
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: have been if I feel like I would win somewhere else.

1271
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: Why just because it's a very unconventional and different situation

1272
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: for me. I don't get the ball as much as

1273
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: I used to, uh with with our past heavy offense

1274
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: they used still a lot in the past. Unless they

1275
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: want to go deep and use me to just run

1276
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: past people, then they used me, and we don't run

1277
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: the ball much. I probably got maybe like seven carries

1278
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: a game last year, which is what less than to

1279
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: a quarter. If you that's tough, it's tough. It's tough,

1280
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: especially when you have a lot of pressure on you

1281
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: to be that thousand yard back and it's like, what

1282
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: do you expect if I'm being six a game? But

1283
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's it's kind of tough. But I appreciate

1284
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: that because it's made me a lot mentally tougher, and

1285
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: going into the last year in my contract, I feel

1286
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: like I'm ready for anything. This is coming. This is

1287
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: your last year, my last year my contract. This is

1288
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the fourth year year of a four year contract. So

1289
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: when you when you signed, you signed a four year country. Um,

1290
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Maddie Patricia, who uh? I mean this guy because I'm

1291
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: a Giants fan. This guy drives me nuts. Have you

1292
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: met Matti Patricia? You haven't met him personally yet. Um,

1293
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: he simply you know, obviously a couple of emails to

1294
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: the team and stuff like that. But I've done my

1295
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: own research. I know this dudes like a genius. He's

1296
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a genius. Yeah. I read someone where like he was

1297
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: studying to be like an astrophysicist or something like that. So,

1298
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the brain powers there. I'm interested to

1299
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: see how he conducts the team. Obviously, you know, being

1300
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator not necetionally been a head coach. Now

1301
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 1: you have to, you know, work with two different realms

1302
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: with the team. I'm interested to see and I'm just excited.

1303
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: I love new change. I always like new change. Yeah,

1304
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: I think it'll be exciting. I mean I think, you know,

1305
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: coming from from Belichick, obviously, you know the people, the

1306
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 1: expectations are gonna be high. Has it been frustrating, like

1307
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: you're you're so damn close. There's so much talent on

1308
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: that team, you know, Uh is it frustrating? Like it's

1309
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: always like you guys are always like the week fifteen,

1310
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 1: weeks sixteen, so they could cocker shit. I mean it's

1311
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: frustrating for me just because, for one, we have a

1312
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: quarterback who is probably gonna be we're looking at his numbers.

1313
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: You might end up in the Hall of Fame, right

1314
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: and anytime you have a guy like that, especially in

1315
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: the league, like a quarterback driven league, right now, you

1316
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: want to make the most of you know, his time

1317
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: before he starts to you know, regress. And I feel

1318
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 1: like Matt is, he's on the up, So we definitely

1319
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 1: have to ride that wave and just produce. Man. I

1320
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: think I think things are coming together. I know we

1321
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: made a couple of coaching changes and hopefully we get

1322
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of guys in there who really

1323
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: are going to look and evaluate our talent and use

1324
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: each talent individually to succeed, not just to run a scheme,

1325
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: but to see these guys and be like, I gotta

1326
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: get him involved. This way. I got you, you know,

1327
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: like you like do what you as opposed to just

1328
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,799
Speaker 1: instead of just running I got you. That's that never works.

1329
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you. Um uh, Thanksgiving. You

1330
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: haven't been able to rest on a Thanksgiving for the

1331
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: last were years. What is it like playing on Thanksgiving?

1332
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: And you know, like how big are those games? And

1333
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: do you actually get to actually eat a Thanksgiving Day meal? Uh? Well,

1334
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate Thanksgiving probably differently than what why the typical

1335
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: Americans appreciate. Probably just been around my family. I don't

1336
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: really support Thanksgiving, like right, I got you, But it

1337
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: is still a day like it's a day of rest. Whatever,

1338
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: is a day where I supposed always watched the football game.

1339
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: And you gotta everybody's gotta eat something that you're eating,

1340
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Your mom's gonna put down

1341
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: the best meal she can for the year pretty much.

1342
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: And uh it's tough. I've had my family come to

1343
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: me now, the entire crew, most of them, most of them.

1344
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: I have one sister lives in d C. She has

1345
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,520
Speaker 1: her own family, so that's always tough for her to

1346
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: to come to us. But for the last how do

1347
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 1: you distribute tick? Can you get tickets? You got eight

1348
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, they might have a wife. What are

1349
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: we doing here? Yeah? Man, sometimes I need to cut

1350
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 1: a deal with him because the most time I gotta

1351
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: come out of my pocket, you know, for most of

1352
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: these tickets. But I understand if it's a holiday, I

1353
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: don't mind. You know, I want my family to be there, especially,

1354
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's always where we're one of the few

1355
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: games is playing that day US and another team, so

1356
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: I know all of Americans watching, that's a special woman

1357
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: for them to be there. So you mentioned green Bay.

1358
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: You guys play green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago, you you you

1359
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: mentioned green Bay is the toughest place to play. What

1360
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: is it like playing in Green Bay? Well, for one

1361
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: of the grass is always bad. It's always better field, Yeah,

1362
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,520
Speaker 1: just because the terrain in the Midwest is just unpredictable

1363
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: and ulrain the day before it is always wet. The

1364
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: grass is never just intact like that, so the field

1365
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: is always tough. Then the next thing is like Green Bay,

1366
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: their fans I guess own the team or something and

1367
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: they're like owned by the city or something, so they

1368
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: definitely bring that ownership type of attitude like it's their team,

1369
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: like man, and they just I mean, it brings passion

1370
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's kind of a scary

1371
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: feeling playing there because those those fans are really brutal,

1372
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: are they really they are? They're brutal for sure. I

1373
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: remember um, like I said, being black and Muslim, it's

1374
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 1: it's like a double you know, pressure on me sometimes.

1375
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: I remember my rookie year. I forgot what I think

1376
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't after the Boston bombent what what happened

1377
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: in two it was? I think it was Boston was

1378
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: in Boston. We were having a moment of silence, which

1379
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous when people yelled and screamed on moments of silence,

1380
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: but all you can hear was death to Muslims and

1381
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: this and the third while you're having the moment, having

1382
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: a moment of silence, and I'm sitting there, I'm just like, man,

1383
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 1: they're talking to me. You know, I'm probably the only

1384
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: Muslim on the field, and then I'm hearing all this

1385
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: stuff and nowhere else. I don't think I would have

1386
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: heard that necessarily than Green Bay. So it was it

1387
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 1: was definitely an eye opening thing for me. That's crazy.

1388
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: It was crazy, man, when when you when you're on

1389
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: the field in the stadium, like Green Bay, a Minnesota, Chicago,

1390
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: a tough Philadelphia. They're animals out there. Can you hear

1391
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: the fans a lot of times? We can. I know

1392
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: in New York you can because in New York there

1393
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: right on top of you kinda. So we played in

1394
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: New York this past year on Monday Night football and

1395
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: we were winning pretty good, and the fans. That's I

1396
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: like New York fans because they never give up though,

1397
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, they just say funny stuff in the back year,

1398
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, back of year the whole time. But yeah,

1399
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: you you usually can, especially when they're calling out the

1400
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 1: quarterback or calling that one specific player. You can definitely

1401
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: can hear all the stuff they're saying. All right, what

1402
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: was your first Oh shit, I'm in the NFL moment

1403
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: where you were like on the field plane but you

1404
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: were like, there's And it was Monday night football my

1405
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: rookie year. We were playing the Denver Broncos and you're

1406
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Payton win one Super Bowl and he ran out on

1407
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: the field and that was the first time I had

1408
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,560
Speaker 1: seen a guy and I was like, damn, that's a quarterback,

1409
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,719
Speaker 1: because like I see Matt all the time. So I'm like, okay,

1410
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: that's just Stafford. But when I saw Peyton Manny come

1411
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: out there, warm and up, I was like, that's the

1412
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. I didn't realize he was a

1413
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: tall I didn't realize like that was you know, that

1414
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 1: was paying Manning. He had like a legendary night that

1415
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: night to lit us up. But that was my first like,

1416
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: oh shift, I'm in the NFL. I'm on the same

1417
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: field with a guy I used to play matting with

1418
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: when I was little. That's Payton Manning. So I mean

1419
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: that was special. That's cool. Um, NFL defensive players, you

1420
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:30,879
Speaker 1: got my guy all day, big play, Darius Slay, the safeties,

1421
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: the defensive backs, these are the biggest ship talkers in

1422
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,799
Speaker 1: the NFL. You're you seem like a mild manner, dude.

1423
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: You don't seem like a real ship talker. It depends.

1424
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: It depends on the day. Give it to me, because

1425
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: because I'm a Hall of Fame ship talker, do you

1426
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: instigate the ship talking or see everybody? Everybody I've interviewed

1427
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: football players and they all say they don't start, that

1428
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: they finished it. But I have to say the defensive

1429
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: defensive players always started. Who are the biggest, right, So

1430
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: who are the biggest ship talkers opposition that you've played against? Uh?

1431
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: Team ares Uh. He probably is the biggest ship talker.

1432
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. Khalil Mack for sure. Let me think to us. Oh,

1433
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Vince Williams lying back and from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He

1434
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: from the from the on set. That's his attitude. I

1435
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: respect him, but I don't but I don't really like him.

1436
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't really like him. But he talks a lot

1437
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: of ship he does. Yeah, he's probably number one. He's

1438
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: probably NB one. And what about like the DBS in

1439
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: the safeties because they seem like they have like Napoleon

1440
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: complix the DBS and safeties. They just say like funny.

1441
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: Dominique Rogers Camardi is pretty he's a ship talker, but

1442
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: it's like funny, Okay, you don't take them serious. He's

1443
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: just saying just you know, weird, weird stuff to you,

1444
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 1: just to get you thinking about anything else than making plays.

1445
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: And you said you talked to you, are you like,

1446
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: what would get you going? What? What what gets me

1447
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: going is obviously I'm running back, so I'm at the

1448
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 1: bottom of the paler lots when I'm trying to get

1449
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,839
Speaker 1: up and someone tries to like use your body to

1450
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: push themselves up. That's like my biggest pet peeve on

1451
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: the field. Like when you're when you're getting up and

1452
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: you feel someone like pushing you back down so they

1453
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: can get themselves up. All that ship pisses me off

1454
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: and that that would get me going out. That's when

1455
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: I get fired up. When you're at the bottom of

1456
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: a pile. What is the nastiest thing that's happened? Like

1457
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: is it spitting? Like if there's a fumble and like

1458
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: is it like what what's going on? Like that's like

1459
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: to me, like a scary environment, like I forget, just

1460
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: like a like attack, like when when there's a fumble

1461
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 1: and everybody's diving and grabbing and pulling. What is happening

1462
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,560
Speaker 1: under that? That's this thing that's happened to me. It

1463
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: was my rookie year when Claire's Campbell was still with Arizona.

1464
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: He was on top of me and like his belly

1465
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: was out and his stomach was on my advisor and

1466
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: he was sweating so much that it literally dripped him

1467
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: to my eyeball. It was the nastiest thing ever. Man.

1468
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,759
Speaker 1: That is funny, that's disgusting. I was. I was pissed.

1469
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I had to come out. And

1470
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: that is found. That's a big man. That's a big man.

1471
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: He's like six nine. That's a dude. And he's sweating

1472
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: on you and you you just you you're at it, murder.

1473
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: You can't there, you know what, I'm some two three

1474
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: something like when there's a fumble and everybody's diving after it.

1475
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 1: That's the scariest thing ever. What is that? What is that?

1476
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 1: It's that split the moment you gotta make the decision, like,

1477
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: am I about this life? Because dudes are coming in.

1478
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: I remember when Cam Newton fumbled into the Super Bowl

1479
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: at one time he made that decision. I wonder about

1480
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: that life because you dive in there and you're trying

1481
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: to reach your arm out, so gonna hit your arm

1482
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: you Tara l Abraham, It's it's dangerous, man, because picking

1483
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: up that ball is that's hundreds of thousands of dollars.

1484
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Anytime a defender recovers a fumble, that goes on his

1485
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,440
Speaker 1: stats and that's something he can goes to the negotiation

1486
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: table and he's like, hey, I recovered this many fumbles.

1487
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So those defenders are flying

1488
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: in there, man, like, that's one of the most dangerous,

1489
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: most underrated, dangerous parts of football is a fumble recovery

1490
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: that in the field goal. Why I feel gold just

1491
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: because you if you look at the lineman blocking on

1492
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: field goal, these guys legs are strouded open and they

1493
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: can't really move because they don't want to make any

1494
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: separation between so a defender can't get in and blocked,

1495
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,759
Speaker 1: and they're just exposing themselves to God's just torpedo missiling

1496
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: through their legs stern UM's rib cages to block that ball.

1497
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: It's that's a dangerous ass play. What's the like, uh,

1498
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: the hardest hit? Do you remember where you're like? It

1499
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: was actually air greed. It was actually air greed. I

1500
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: was I was tip torn. I had broke like a

1501
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 1: twenty run. I'm a little trying to dance out of

1502
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: bounds a little bit because I felt good about myself.

1503
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Right before I stepped out of bounds, he lifted me,

1504
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: lifted me, and I went flying, and I remember like

1505
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: landing by our own like the defensive bench, and they

1506
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: looked at me and they're just laughing. I'm like, damn,

1507
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: we were winning, but I was like, that's gonna be

1508
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: on somebody's highlight because he I flew like eight yards. Man,

1509
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: it was a hard hit. Do you are the hits

1510
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: like that? Because you know, if your guys are laughing,

1511
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: it's not one of these scariest are the hits like that? Like?

1512
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: What are the ones that hurt the most? Is hit?

1513
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Like the more subtle things is that the way you fall.

1514
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: It could just be like hit somebody hitting your hip.

1515
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 1: A lot of times, it's it's the way you fall,

1516
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: you know, because like if you're wrapped up all one

1517
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: guy and then another guy comes and hits you at

1518
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: another direction, you gotta make sure your body falls in

1519
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: a certain way that won't twist up your bones and

1520
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: your ligaments and stuff. Those are the hits that I

1521
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, I'm cognitive of I've been

1522
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: fortunate that I've never been diagnosed with, you know, with

1523
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: a concussion, so I've never took like direct shots to

1524
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: the head. But the ones that I get a lot

1525
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: is when I'm in the power I'm trying to drive

1526
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: my legs and then like another guy comes and dives

1527
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: at my legs this way. Then the guy dies on

1528
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: my upper body the other way, and that's kind of like,

1529
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: you know, one way, you know, hollowed a little bit,

1530
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: and that's when it gets kind of scared. Are you

1531
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: conscious of like three things going on? Hang onto the

1532
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, and you dr and but but also protect

1533
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: yourself at all times? So which first? Hang onto the ball? Yeah,

1534
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: that's definitely number one, hang on to the ball, and

1535
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,560
Speaker 1: then the second one to protect yourself, especially like you

1536
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: gotta live to play another down. So is the off

1537
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: season now there's been two big scrutinies. What the hell

1538
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: is a catch? What I would like you, as a

1539
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: football player to explain to me what the hell is

1540
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: a catch? Because last year was like I don't know

1541
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: what the hell it catches? And then they've they've changed again,

1542
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: like you know, this is like real football ship the

1543
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: hits with basically none of the helmet. So what are

1544
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: the what is a catch? Now? Do you know what

1545
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: it catches? I think I do? Okay, catch is you

1546
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: have to secure the football and make a football move.

1547
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: What is that? I think they they're saying. If you

1548
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: drop your shoulders and you square yourself up to your

1549
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: own oppositions end zone, that's a football move. So if

1550
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: you catch it and you have the ability to square

1551
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: yourself up and position your vision to see other you know,

1552
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: other teams ends on. That's a football move. If you're

1553
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: catching it and you're not you know, not square yet

1554
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: and you're running, then you get hit and you followed,

1555
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: then the ball comes out, that's not a catch. But

1556
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: if you can catch the ball, square it up, take

1557
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: a step, and then get tackled, then the ball comes out,

1558
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: it's probably a fumble or just a catch. I gotta

1559
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: be honest with me here, I'm not sure you know

1560
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: where the catches. And I mean it's that sounds good,

1561
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 1: but I mean because I think, I mean, I don't

1562
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: know what they're still gonna be like figuring it out

1563
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: for sure, because I mean you watched that Pittsburgh game.

1564
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: That was a catch. That was a catch, that was

1565
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 1: a catch. Pittsburgh should have been advancing for sure. Um.

1566
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: And then the helmet to helmet, no helmet to helmet.

1567
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously everybody wants everybody to be safe. You know,

1568
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: I have compassion sometimes listen dirty players or dirty plays.

1569
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: But I told you from the beginning, I'm slow as ship.

1570
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: But when you guys are going full speed, and you know,

1571
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: a mere Abdulah cat just you know, a seven yard route,

1572
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:06,799
Speaker 1: you might slip. You you know, you might be catching

1573
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the ball like seeing the defender go under and then

1574
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: the defender he doesn't know what the hell with me?

1575
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 1: Abdula is gonna do? If you guys incidentally coincidentally and

1576
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: it's not on purpose, bang heads, the defender gets the penalty. Now,

1577
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: obviously we don't want to see anybody hurt, but like,

1578
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: where's this going? And it is football, like sometimes head

1579
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 1: to head contact happen. And when you see it happened

1580
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 1: and you know it's not on purpose, it's like, yo,

1581
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: if you're flying that head and the receiver he might

1582
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: have caught it and slipped, and the other guys going

1583
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: low and we we catch heads. The defender gets the penalty,

1584
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: even if it's not on purpose. Clearly is gonna slow

1585
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: the game down a lot, because I think then with

1586
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: the new ruling, I think they're like reviewing like discrepancy

1587
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: if it was malicious or not, which I mean, even then,

1588
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of gray areas. It's definitely

1589
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna slow the game down a lot because you know

1590
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: how low those reviews take one. And then secondly, it's

1591
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:10,679
Speaker 1: just gonna change how defenders play, you know, because now

1592
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's worse to tell him to go lower,

1593
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: because a lot of times if those guys are coming

1594
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: in for your legs once you're get in it, that's

1595
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: how you get a lot of like broken legs, dislocated knees.

1596
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: I remember it happened to Gronk one time, because I mean,

1597
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: he's a big guy, and a lot of times people

1598
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: hit him low anyways because it's easier, and some of

1599
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: the hits I see him take down low, I'm just like, dude,

1600
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: hit me up top seriously. Like So, I mean, I

1601
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: think it's definitely gonna change how some some dbs play.

1602
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: But when he when he comes to those bang bang plays,

1603
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: it's nothing you can do. Like you said, like if

1604
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 1: a receiver catches it and makes a quick move the

1605
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: projector of which what you don't the taco him is

1606
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:53,640
Speaker 1: going to be different than when you initially did it,

1607
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, so it may hit him in a helmet

1608
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: or may hit him in the neck area. So I

1609
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: just feel like that that rule, it's gonna be tough

1610
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: to you. It's gonna be tough to judge what players

1611
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You're not playing a game. Let's say

1612
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: you have you have your weekend off, who are your

1613
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: favorite players to watch? For one, Antonio Brown? That dude

1614
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 1: is stupid Antonio. How good is he? He's the best?

1615
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: Why he can do anything, That's the thing. Like he

1616
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: can play outside, inside, he can run all day. He's

1617
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna do some something freaky at some point that just

1618
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna make you say wow. Um, I love watching O'Dell.

1619
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: I think O'Dell is in that same boat. The dude

1620
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: just unreal. Um. Defensive players that I really like to

1621
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: watch because I feel like they're just the best at

1622
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 1: that position is probably Patrick Peterson. Patrick Peterson is the

1623
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: best pure corner I've seen in a long time, so

1624
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: patient at the line of scrimmage with his jam, you

1625
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 1: can make all these moves. He's sitting there just chilling.

1626
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: But if you actually make a move up the field,

1627
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: and like, you see a lot of dbs, now, a

1628
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys. I mean, I love Josh Norman, you know,

1629
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 1: I love a lot of these Richard Sherman guys like that.

1630
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: But when I watched Patrick Peterson, I see a pure corner,

1631
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,679
Speaker 1: so like I like to watch him a lot. Um

1632
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I like watching Cam just because Cam gave

1633
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: me some of the best When I was visited Arben

1634
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 1: coming to high school, he gave me some of the

1635
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 1: best encouragement now I could get. You know, I was

1636
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: a guy I came in and I wasn't on an

1637
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: official visit. You know, I wasn't like the high recruited guy.

1638
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 1: And he saw me over there kind of no down

1639
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: because a lot of guys were getting all the love.

1640
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: He was like, man, don't even worry about it. Man,

1641
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: just keeps driving. In life, You're gonna be exactly what

1642
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 1: you want to be. Cam told me that when I

1643
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: was like eighteen, So I like to watch Cam a lot.

1644
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 1: Do you think like he? I love Cam and I

1645
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 1: love him as I don't know him. I mean I

1646
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 1: met him one time. I couldn't believe how damn big

1647
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 1: he was huge? Yo. Yeah, is he the biggest quarterback

1648
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL? I know Joe Flacco is pretty big.

1649

1681
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I am a fantasy football expert. I

1682
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: want more carries. Okay, Matt Patricia when you tell him,

1683
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he's gonna grow that fucking

1684
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,080
Speaker 1: stinking beard out or not. I want more carries. I

1685
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,479
Speaker 1: want a healthy season. Um, and I want Detroit to

1686
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: go over the top and tell Matt Stafford if he

1687
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 1: ever sees me I'm ever in the same building with him,

1688
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: I expect, like, you know, like a steak on him

1689
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 1: or like a solda or something like that. I'm not

1690
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm not whipping out the credit card at least advertising something.

1691
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: I wish you the best of luck this season, healthy season.

1692
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: You're going into your fourth season. We gotta get the

1693
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: goddamn ball. We gotta get the ball. That's that's I mean,

1694
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. More more catches too. My final

1695
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,560
Speaker 1: question with with the catches, you're a football player. I

1696
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 1: don't understand this when they say running backs he can

1697
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield. He can't catch

1698
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 1: the ball out of backfield. He's a backfield. He's a

1699
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 1: running back who could catch, who can't catch? Explain that

1700
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 1: to me, like as that being a strength or not

1701
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 1: a strength. Every football player could catch a ball. Correct, Yeah,

1702
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying. I know exactly what

1703
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,520
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think they need to be more specific

1704
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: when when they're referring to he's a running back, you

1705
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: can catch the ball out of backfield, what they should

1706
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: be saying is he's a running back who can run routes.

1707
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 1: You know something that separates I think myself, THEO and

1708
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: some other guys like you see McCAT free. Um, what's

1709
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: guy Chris Thompson got from U. It's it's it's a

1710
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 1: number of guys who were good at it from you know,

1711
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 1: maybe some of the you know, guys who don't necessarily

1712
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,800
Speaker 1: you see running option routes or different choice routes. Is

1713
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 1: we can create separation and catch the ball in small windows.

1714
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: You know you can. Anyone can catch a swing pass,

1715
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 1: anybody can catch a fat route. But after you know

1716
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 1: a guy who can be like in Hybrid, who can

1717
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 1: line up in a slot and have a nickel on

1718
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: them and still win. That's why I feel like me

1719
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 1: and THEO bring to the game. And like I said,

1720
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: hopefully this year Detroit actually gives me more of opportunity

1721
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: to do that because that's always been my strong suit.

1722
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 1: You know. That's I start off playing receiver because I

1723
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be like Percy Harving growing up, you know.

1724
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's something I'm really looking forward to. Alright, Redla,
